Looking for good boot vendor
I am trying to find a place that has good riding boots that don't say HD on them. I have not had much luck finding any that carry other brands. Can anyone give me a suggestion?

I don't personally own these, but I have several friends that ride that wear Red Wing motorcycle boots and really love them. They say they're comfortable and break in really quickly. I think I'm going to get a pair this summer. Plus, they're made in America so they're practically a collector's item!

I like my Cruiser Works boots. Comfy and easy on easy off. Wife likes here's also. Pretty much water proof also.

OP,
I just wear my work boots. A good fit and comfy. If weather is an issue, I am getting some pull overs for rain. Just find a good leather pair and don't worry.

I bought a pair of HD boots. They don't say HD all over them, they are waterproof, not much of a heel and very comfy. They are the FXRG's. Got them on closeout at the dealer.

I have to wear safety toe boots for work, and have trouble finding comfortable boots in a "wide-waterski" size. Magnum boots have met that goal. I have purchased these through local and internet suppliers for several years and get good wear/comfort out of them. Magnum has similar styles with & without composite safety toe, waterproof, side zip. The last pair I bought a few weeks ago went for $91 + tax

Believe it or not, I've always bought my leather jackets and boots at the Army-Navy Store. Always worked for me.

Well, I guess I can add Red Wing boots to the list of things no longer made in America! How depressing... |

I don't know if it all their boots are made in China, but model (971) is made in China. It seems to be a good boot, just very heavy. I'm on a concrete floor all day, so comfort is a must. It is just a sign of the global economy.
